This is Joanne’s version of the Farmer’s Wife Sampler Quilt. Most of you are probably familiar with the story/the book behind this quilt but for those of you who are not, here is a short recap: In 1922, “The Farmer’s Wife” magazine asked its readers if, based on their own experience, they would have their daughter marry a farmer. They received over 7,000 letters answering the question. 55 of those answers are included in the book “The Farmer’s Wife Sampler Quilt: 55 Letters And The 111 Blocks They Inspired”. Joanne’s quilt was quilted with the design “Swirling Feathers”, we thought the traditional look required something with feathers. While writing this post I suddenly realized that the quilt is upside down in the pictures, sorry about that.
